Disclaimer: I don't own the Loud House. Most of these one shots are ideas I have after seeing episodes. Some while I'm trying to sleep. I can't promise any definite amount of one-shots and they might not always be canonical.
This is very AU. Harry Potter verse. Please understand that because Royal Woods is in America, our no maj born witch or wizard would go to Ilvermorny.
Lincoln Loud was not like your average kid. He came from an extremely big family that was nothing like anything seen before. He had ten sisters, each with their own unique personalities and style.
There was Lori, his boyfriend and phone obsessed eldest sister. Leni, the ditzy fashionista. Luna, the family rockstar. Luan, the aspiring comedian. Lynn, the sports-aholic. Lucy, queen of the supernatural and all things dark. Lola, the girly girl obsessed with her image. Lola, the animal lover. Lisa, the prodigy scientist. And Lily, the baby who hated wearing diapers.
Everyone in the Loud house was special, everyone had their own unique little quirks. Even Lincoln. Lincoln had a special talent of maneuvering around the chaos with minimal injury. And even when things turned out for the worse, for Lincoln things seemed to get better almost over night. There was the time Lisa had tested out some hair growth formulas on him, without his consent, and Lincoln had magically regrown most of his hair overnight. Yeah it was much shorter than it had started out with and had left Lisa confused how he had gone from bald to full head of hair again, but Lincoln couldn't think much of it. After all, he had more important things to worry about like getting the tv remote.
So when he work up that morning, a beautiful Wednesday morning in mid July, he hadn't been expecting anything less than the usual chaos. He hadn't expected a strange visitor appearing at their doorsteps to say the least.
"Hey Lisa, could you pass the mustard?"
Lincoln frowns as he sat at the kiddie table, feeling his temper start to wise. All around him, his younger siblings were pushing, shoving, talking too loudly, and being gross. All he wanted was some mustard for his french fries. Was that so difficult? Apparently, since Lincoln had gone unheard of by the young genius. Typical.
"Lisa!"
"Yes?"
"Finally, could you PLEASE pass the mustard?"
The young boy grinned to himself as Lisa began to heed his request, only for Lana to speak up. Her voice carried nothing but mischief.
"Please? Or Peas?"
Lincoln stared with wide eyes as Lana bent the spoon back. Her grin revealed her two missing front teeth and suddenly the little green vegetables smacked him in the face, a few going splat and others bouncing away. They didn't hurt but it still made him reflexively recoil and swat a few seconds too late at his face. Snickers echoed from around him, making his face burn bright red.
"Hey! What's the big i-" He paused, his eyes landing on the back door suddenly.
There was someone out there, and he noticed his sisters follow his gaze. Lola and Lana immediately started squealing, calling for their parents, while Lily started to cry. Lincoln stood and lifted Lily from her high chair, rocking her gently as best he could to comfort her. Lucy remained silent while Lisa mumbled incoherently under her breath. Lincoln wasn't sure of what, though no doubts the odds of who this individual was. They knocked on the door, tentatively at first. Lincoln hugged Lily closer as his mother and father sprang from the doorway. His older sisters were all craning their heads in to see what was happening. Mom took Lily out of her only son's arms, thanking him as Dad opened the door, blocking the entrance.
"Hello, is there anything we can help you with?"
Lincoln heard the suspicion and skepticism in his father's voice. This was all really weird. Especially since their backyard was all fenced up. Charles hadn't even made a single noise. No bark or anything.
"Yes, is this the Loud House?" They had a slightly raspy voice, but definitely female. Lincoln wasn't sure if that made him feel better or not. It sort of reminded him of how Luna spoke, especially when she was screaming all night at a concert. Maybe this woman came from a concert.
"Yes..."
"Ahh, good, I'm here to speak to a Mr. and a Mrs. Loud. As well as a Lincoln Loud."
"Why would you need to speak with me?" Lincoln moved to the side to see around his father. The woman was maybe in her thirties. She had very dark brown hair like his sister Luna though short and curly like Lori's own hair. Her eyes were a dark green and her skin was a coffee brown. She wore an odd cloak around her shoulders that went all the way down to her ankles. Beneath that, he wasn't too sure what she was wearing. But she smiled upon seeing him and scooted a bit in past his father.
Holding out a hand, she spoke, "Hello Lincoln. My name is Avery Prince, I work for the Magical Congress of the United States or otherwise known as MACUSA by us magical folk."
"Hello..." He said softly, hesitantly, confused as he shook her hand.
She smiled and looked around, speaking before either Mom or Dad could interrupt and kick her out, "I do apologize for coming at such an inconvenient time but I prefer to do these introductions and things when the whole family is around. Leaves for a lot less confusion. So..." She pulled out from underneath her cloak a short stick of dark red wood. Lincoln blinked, recognizing it as a wand immediately. Not the typical magicians wand he's seen Luan wield but a wand nonetheless. With a simple swish of her wrist, the plates in the room rose up and hovered in the air, "Is there perhaps a room where we can all sit in together?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, something that Avery had become quite accustomed to. Finally, the children's mother stammered out, "The living room perhaps?"
"I think Lisa's broken," Lynn frowns as Lori set the four year old in her lap. The little scientist was far too busy staring at the witch before them all to even touch the rest of her dinner. No matter how much Lori silently nudged her, she would not respond.
"The shock wears off," Avery said, sitting on the couch in the middle with Mom and Dad. Lincoln sat in the arm chair, not sure if he had much of an appetite anymore, "Are you sure you wouldn't like me to make up some more chairs for everyone?"
"No-no that's quite alright," Mom said, "So.. what is the nature of your visit?"
The kids shuffled about uneasily. It was easy to tell that the parents were quite alarmed by the unexpected guest. Lori and Luna were content sitting closer to Lincoln, the older teens neglecting their food. Luan and Leni sat together on the other side of the coffee table, Luan holding Lily in her arms and trying to feed the baby. Lily, despite the situation, was not making it easier. Lola and Lana sat with their backs to the fireplace, where Lucy had climbed in unnoticed. The two were eating quietly for once, while Lynn sat in the corner fidgeting with a ball.
"Well, I've come to, firstly, deliver this letter to Lincoln," Sitting down now, Lincoln sat Avery wore a dark black skirt and a dark blue blouse. Definitely fancier and more formal than he would expect for someone working for a magical government. She reached out across to him to hand him a white envelope. In curly dark blue ink was the address and information.
"Mr. Lincoln Loud, The Linen Closet," At that he raised an eyebrow. Okay. Strange. "1216 Franklin Avenue, Royal Woods, Michigan."
"Go on, open it up," Avery encouraged, to which Lincoln had no choice but to open the letter. He pulled out some pieces of paper and frowns, laying them out in his lap.
"What do they say?" Lola whined. Of course her impatience would get the better of her. Lincoln took a deep breath and read it out loud.
"Dear Mr. Loud. We wish to inform you that you have been accepted to Ilvermorny School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. You will find enclosed in this letter a list of necessary materials for the year as well as a train ticket. We expect your response no later than August 25. Term begins September 1. Yours Truly, Deputy Headmaster Cassius Green."
"Congratulations, you've got a wizard in the family."
"A wizard? Lincoln?" Mom sounded shocked and blinked, "How is that possible?"
"It happens, we aren't entirely sure how wizards and witches exactly come from completely no-maj families. That's short for no magic by the way, for those who aren't wizards, but it happens. It's always exciting really and you're all taking it so well. So I take it Lincoln will be going then? Would Saturday be an appropriate day to take him through and get his supplies. You're all welcome to come of course, though I must ask that you all keep this a secret. Magic isn't suppose to be exposed to no-maj, we don't want any fighting on our hands. There hasn't been an incident since 1926 with the New Salemers."
"You need us to keep this a secret? Our brother's a wizard and we can't tell anyone?" Lynn frowns, "He can't even use magic in front of us?"
"Well, until he's of the rightful age, he isn't allowed to perform magic outside of school anyways. Not unless he wants expulsion and his wand confiscated. I promise you it's not as hard as you think. And it isn't technically a lie if you say he's at boarding school."
"She's got a point mom and dad," Lori says.
"Wait a minute," Lincoln interrupted, suddenly snapping out of the shock he fell into. Him? A wizard? "Everyone's just okay with me going? According to this train ticket I'd be all the way in Massachusetts. I'd be gone for an entire school year! And everyone's okay with that?"
"It's entirely your choice if you want to go Lincoln, but you'd be giving up on so much. You've got so much potential to be a great wizard. This is a chance not everyone gets."
"But-"
"Lincoln," Lola stared at him, "How can you even consider saying no to this? This is like-"
"The most epic thing that can ever happen," Lana concluded, "You have to go!"
"Yeah, you'll be doing actual magic! Stuff that I can never do! I can only do cheap slight of hand tricks and pull rabbits out of my hat. You'll get to turn rabbits into hats by the sound of this!"
"Ilvermorny is the best school to go, especially in America. Internationally, well, everyone's protective of their school. Those people at Hogwarts think they're so full of themselves sometimes."
"It sounds like a good opportunity Lincoln," Dad tried to reason. It was obvious he was trying to wrap his head around it all, "You'll be the first wizard in the family."
"Huh..." Lincoln had never thought about it that way, "That is true. It wouldn't hurt to try it for a year..."
"Fantastic, Saturday it is," Avery grinned as she clapped her hands, standing, "I hate to take up any more of your time. Are there any pressing questions that you'd like to know before I take off?"
"Are there ghosts at Ilvermorny?"
"AHH!" Everyone jumped. Mom, Dad, all the girls, Lincoln, and Avery. Everyone stared at Lucy, who had stepped up from behind the twins. She had been there the entire time, but had simply disappeared for a very brief moment. It made Avery smirk, humming in curiosity.
"Why yes, there are ghosts in the wizarding world. There should still be a few wandering around Ilvermorny, and I've heard there's a nasty poltergeist in Hogwarts they can't seem to get rid of," Perhaps the Loud House was home to more than just one wizard.
Finally broke through some writers block. Okay. Entirely up to you guys if you want a small continuation one shot of Lincoln getting his wand or meeting Clyde at Ilvermorny and being sorted. Your pick.
Also, how cool would it be if Lucy was a witch? Like the way she disappears and stuff, what if she was subconsciously putting a concealment charm around herself? I think that would be cool and gave a nod towards it. Because I think it's possible. Do let me know if that's what you would like to see.
